Hi, I live in U.K so was interested in using the Alpari MT4 spread betting account. I have a few questions. 1. Can I place multiple orders on the same pair in both directions and distinct orders (i.e. hedging). 2. How is it different from the normal ...

By the way these guys are nothing to do with Barclays Bank, not sure why their returns should be setting the bar?

The Catch 22 of Trading

Yeah that's another approach to position sizing, one which I use.

The Catch 22 of Trading

If you want to build an account, compounding frequency is key. (assuming a positive expectancy)

The Catch 22 of Trading

This depends on the timezone you live in, I am in the UK and when I get home from work it's the tail end of the us session, the Asian session does not get going until 2am UK time. So the period I can trade from 7pm to midnight uk time (2pm to 7pm ny ...

The Catch 22 of Trading

Thinking in terms of targets can be pernicious for a new trader. I think its OK to look back at your trading record over a significant number of trades and look at various statistical figures. I wouldn't even then extrapolate on those figures into ...

First trade and I made a mistake, looking for a Sunday Gap on FXPro and calculated the gap as 48 pips, but it was 4.8 really as it has 5 decimal places. Doh! Closed the trade and paid the spread, so lost £1.95.

1hr NZDUSD Round Return — Looking at this now, looking more controlled than the spike earlier. Hoping my funds are in to broker before this one triggers, or I will watching it. Seems quiet in here does no one post anymore?The_Wizard? Is there ...

Looks like it was the ecb rate cut spike? Back down to the channels.

The previous support doesn't look that convincing only had one touch, and was washed a lot before?

Hey Tom, Followed you on the other forum as TD and here, great thread, seems like your trading has evolved. I use spread betting as I am from the UK, but there charts are a bit cumbersome compared with Meta Trader. Do you still use SB or do you ...
